Bai Shan and the others were busy packing up and preparing to go home. Of course, there were a lot of them, and they just stood in the yard with their hands together and basked in the sun while directing the guard soldiers to pack their luggage.
This time on the return journey, Manbao will not put things in Keke's space. Except for the favorite jewelry she picked out earlier, only Bai Erlang's cat's eye gemstone is still in the space.
Everything else is on the bright side.
Of course, they won't open the box for others to see, they are all well hidden in the box.
But everyone suppressed bandits together, went to the mountains to dig treasures together, shared the spoils on the prairie together, and exchanged treasures with each other. No one knows what's in whose hands.
They didn't know much about the heavy rain who lived in the opposite yard, but they were still speechless about the luggage that Zhou Man and the others brought back, "You brought too many things, right? What are they?"
Man Bao said: "There are everything, including jade, gemstones, all kinds of jewelry, and medicinal materials that we think are beautiful."
"Medicine?"
"That's right," Man Bao said, "There are some medicinal materials here that are not available in the Central Plains, so I bought a little more and went back."
Da Yu was a little tempted, but forget it, he doesn't have much money in his hand, and the medicinal materials are not very useful in their town. After all, good medicinal materials need good doctors to use them to get the effect, right
If they sell in Shazhou, they have no connections, unlike gems and spices in their hands, not only can they find any merchant to sell, but they also have connections.
Heavy Yu pressed his mind, he came here this time to discuss with Bai Shan and the others about going back.
The trade route was reopened, and there were fewer bandits and horse thieves on the road. This time, General Ashina returned to the court with a large army. He returned the soldiers borrowed from Shazhou, Suzhou, and Liangzhou along the way, and finally passed the summer. Zhouzhou back to the capital, so they don't need to protect them along the way, so the price...
Bai Shandao: "We are separated from the army in Shazhou, and we will go back to Liangzhou in your small town. As for the money, we can only pay you the money from Shazhou to the small town. Of course, if you escort us all the way to Liangzhou, the money will be paid." It is also negotiable.”
Da Yu: "...don't you go with the army?"
Bai Shan: "No..."
Because General Ashina also sent the army back to Shazhou, and then he had to send the soldiers and horses in his hands back to the states in batches.
At the beginning, all the states sent out generals who came out to lead the army with General Ashina. Except for those who died in the battle, everyone else had to return to the original army. After arriving in the capital, the imperial court decided to send it to the states.
After Bai Shan and the others knew the journey of General Ashina, they didn't really want to go with him, because he planned to return to the capital from Shazhou in twelve days.
When Bai Shan and the others knew his itinerary, they immediately said that they might not be on the same road, and they would separate when they arrived in Shazhou, so as not to disturb General Ashina.
General Ashina didn't understand, they were all going back to Beijing, why they didn't go the same way until the day they set off.
He saw the long line of wagons, mule carts... and ox carts in their ranks.
General Ashina looked at the boxes on the carriage and mule cart, then at the veterans and remnants sitting in the ox cart, and after being speechless for a while, he turned his head and said goodbye to Chai Duhu who came to see him off.
Chai Duhu was also taken aback for a moment, and also greeted General Ashina, and when everyone set off, he stroked his beard and his confidant beside him and said: "Although Tiaotiao is a little younger, he is still stable. "The main thing is to have a kind heart.
It's rare to have prepared so many ox carts.
General Ashina also looked away from those ox carts, and for the first time couldn't help but complain, "No wonder you have to separate from us when you arrive in Shazhou, and use ox carts to transport troops, don't say twelve days, add half the time I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the capital."
Now the army is traveling, and the squadron is returning to the court, so if you don't rush, it doesn't seem slow to be caught in the ox cart, but when you arrive in Shazhou, General Ashina will rush back to the capital with only a few generals and guards. Speaking of ox carts, even those mule carts loaded with luggage may have difficulty keeping up.
He was right, Man Bao and the others could not return to the capital within 24 days, but they could return to Xiazhou within 24 days.
Heavy Rain and the others sent them all the way to Xiazhou. Yes, they crossed Liangzhou and escorted them to Xiazhou, and they didn't charge any money for the road map from the small town to Xiazhou.
Because the goods in their hands were not sold in Shazhou, but were going to be taken to Xiazhou, Bai Shan and Zhou Man agreed to introduce the merchants to sell the goods for him.
Moreover, there are more Han Chinese in Xiazhou, so he might be able to marry a Han Chinese daughter-in-law and go home.
When they arrived at the gate of Xiazhou City, Da Yu couldn't help but let out a "wow" with his companions. They thought they were just wowing because they were country bumpkins and had never seen such a lively scene. "Sound.
Heavy Yu and the others turned their heads to look at them, and asked curiously, "Have you never seen such a bustling city?"
Man Bao closed his mouth and shook his head, "No, the capital city and Yizhou city are much more prosperous than Xiazhou city, it's just..."
"It's just that Xiazhou City was very quiet before. I didn't expect so many people to enter and leave Xiazhou City in just over half a year." Bai Shan said, "And this is the North City Gate."
This is the north city gate facing the grassland.
Mr. Zhuang also opened the curtain and looked outside. Seeing the familiar Xiazhou city gate, he let out a sigh of relief and finally came back.
The carriages lined up to enter the city, and as soon as the guards took out the documents to register, a soldier ran to the governor's mansion to report. After Man Bao and his team entered the city, they walked a short distance into the city, and Wan Tian brought people to greet them.
He saw Bai Shan, Zhou Man and others riding on the horse with sharp eyes, and immediately jumped off the horse and ran forward to stop the convoy. He bowed to the bottom and said, "Young man, I have seen Mr. Bai, Miss Man, Mr. Bai..."
"Okay, okay, how long do you have to read everyone once?" Bai Shan asked with a smile, "Brother Yang asked you to come pick us up?"
"Yes," Wan Tian narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "The station is ready, young masters and ladies can go to the station to rest first..."
He glanced at the continuous convoy behind him, the smile on his face widened by two points, and said: "The post station is not enough to live in, you can live in the inn next to it."
So the group first went to the post station to settle down. Wan Tian didn't arrange a room for Bai Shan and the others. After Nie Canjun and the others settled in, he immediately asked someone to transport the car containing Zhou Man's luggage to the Governor's Mansion. He invited Bai Shan and the others and said: "When the little one came out, the uncle asked someone to tell the madam. The madam should have tidied up the yard by now, and invited Mr. Zhuang and the young masters and ladies to go home with the young one."
Bai Shan and the others didn't have any objections, anyway, they lived in the governor's mansion when they visited Xiazhou last time.
So a group of people moved to the governor's mansion.
